and crushes the charcoal with the striking-head into dust, | so that 22 
it becomes like flour. After this has been done, he pours the| perch- 
oil into it. Then he stirs it; and when it becomes a | thick paste, he 
turns the canoe bottom-side up, takes an || old mat and tears off 25 
enough to squeeze it in his hand. Then he puts it into | the mixture 
of oil and coal and blackens the outside of the | small canoe. He 
rubs it well, so that it will penetrate the cedar wood; | and when it is 
all covered, he finishes at the end of the canoe. | Therefore they do not 
put a sun-protector on the outside of the small canoe when it is 
blackened || outside with oil mixed with charcoal, for the heat of the 30 
sun does not go through. | They do this way with small canoes and 
with | big canoes. | 
As soon as this is finished, the canoe is turned right-side up, and | 
supports of cedar-wood are put on each side of the bow and on each 
side of the stern. || Short boards of cedar-wood are placed on the 35 
seats; and when | it is all covered, the man pours fresh water into it 
so as to | keep the inside of the canoe cool. When the weather is 
hot, | he takes a dipper and sprinkles water so as to wet the inside 
of the canoe | in the morning. When the owner of the canoe has 
no short boards, || he cuts off branches of young cedar-trees and | 40 
places them on the seats of the canoe the whole | length of the canoe, 
so that neither the sun nor the | cold winds of winter pass through,
